I honestly don't try to overthink it and stress over it. If something doesn't get done on a particular day that I planned for it to be done/wanted it done, I let it go until the next day... For example, if I'm supposed to clean all the bed sheets and something else comes up and I push the laundry aside, I just get to it the next day.
H and I try to set aside date nights. We try to have at least 2 a month, if not, more. As far as the bedroom aspect, H and I make time for that (haha, sorry if it's TMI)...
No one I know does this. I don't know a single soul who keeps up house and romances hubby while 8 months pregnant with a 14 month old at home.
Give it a year or so. When your kids are a little older and you aren't pregnant anymore, you will have more time for hubby and housework. Right now is just about survival.
I have a housekeeper who comes once a week, a DD who is in school from 7:30-3 and DH only gets sex when it counts...oh and we are not pet people.
ETA---Don't stress about it. It will all get done in some form or fashion.
